I suspect it's not so much that Google's results are worthless as it is that people on the internet are worthless. After all, Google is a search engine, not an answer machine. You can't expect Google to return information that isn't out there, somewhere, cruising the tubes on a giant truck.

I dunno a pretty big downside is having these guys hound you. I've got a pretty common name, I get calls all the time from debt collectors using automated systems to confirm I am who they think I am. An answering machine answering the phone is usually enough to confirm their questions because it goes something like "If you are not First M. Lastname, please hang up now." So.....stupid answering machine and voicemail don't hang up....and now you are First M. Lastname to them. And they call relentlessly until you talk to them. And they want information about you to prove you are not this person, because at this point your word is not good enough.

I've heard them using automated callers are against the law, but their callbacks numbers are bogus most times and they leave no information as to what company is calling when the automated caller dials.

So presumably this company could have determined I was First M. Lastname, sent a fake sheriff to my house and summoned me to fake court...and not even be harassing the right person.

Which is why the laws exist and in my opinion should be more stringent. Because Im tired of the MFers calling me every few months again to confirm I am First M. Lastname. If I knew how to get some money from them for the annoyance without it costing me more to run them down I'd probably do it.

Meanwhile debtor has probably declared bankruptcy and is clear of the debt....I still get the phone calls. Awesome setup.

Like a hundred now, it's insane. They're all pretty funny too.

OMG if you haven't heard that answering machine message you have to hear it, it is amazing LOL.

wow, this was an amazingly funny review. But should be marked as *long, since you really need to watch both parts. I had that same answering machine years and years ago!

The only thing i disagree on is the bit about foreign languages. And even then only because most of the people who say that sort of thing are racists who are trying to line themselves up with people like me, who welcome anyone into a country as long as they integrate.



... so learning the language that everyone else speaks isn't integrating?
